A Puyallup man died Tuesday after running a red light and hitting another vehicle, police said.

Officers arrived about 4:15 a.m. and found LeFao dead at the scene. The other driver was treated for minor injuries at St. Joseph Medical Center in Tacoma and released.

Ninth Street Southwest between 39th Avenue Southwest and South Hill Park Drive Southwest was closed in both directions, as was the exit ramp of eastbound state Route 512 at Ninth, while the accident was investigated.
